I can't stop getting extremely angry and cursing/swearing

[PetraFan007]

I have a problem that whenever something goes wrong...I really start taking it so personally...and if I feel like I'm being wronged...I just get so filled with rage...and when I get really angry I always swear and curse and God is convicting me about it a lot. I really want to stop and stop speaking death when things go wrong. I want to have joy even in all my tribulations. Any suggestions? Thanks!

One suggestion that may help you is for you to stop the swearing and start praying everytime. Tell God you don't want to continue and repent and see how God will help you. May God bless all of your efforts!! Hope it helps some.

I know how you feel. I'm going through some challenges lately and the first thing to go is my ability to control my anger and my swearing. I've been throwing around words that I really, really ,really don't like to say. I just got a call from my mum and it was all I could do not to throw the cell phone through the window. Instead I slammed my fist into a door (luckily it's hard wood!). I'm not usually like that but things are just so frustrating right now. I wish I had some suggestions for you petrafan. I guess my post is just a 'I know what you mean' kind of thing. Sorry. I guess if we can muster up the strength we'll have to pray some more about it. It's easier said than done.

I can't promise you joy in tribulations, but you can have peace. Anger seems to go along with being 21. My anger problems stemmed from my father leaving years earlier. it took me a while to let go of it all.
The important thing is you recognize the problem and desire to change. That's half the battle right there.
Keep fighting and eventually you will get there.

great advice. There is a lot to the practicing of "acting as if". When your angry, have a plan (someone who has this problem and overcame it may give you a good plan to reteach yourself). You know your heart isn't into it, and that it seems to "hard" to do. But Jesus understands how hard it is. He knows exactly where you are at and is ABLE to help you overcome. Beware of the feeling that you have to be delivered instantly. Sometimes, we are made to work for our deliverance, it builds something in us that God will use later. Keep on trying, it does get better. Keep a journal, you will be surprised when you go back and read and find out WOW, God really has helped me change and grow in this area.
